Revive Old Solder: Easy Fix for Better Connections! #shorts

Revive Old Solder: Easy Fix for Better Connections! #shorts

Old solder can get crusty, making it hard to work with. Adding fresh solder gives you more surface area for your solder braid to pick things up and get the job done!

🚀 Turn your old radios into digital-mode powerhouses! In this video, I show you the TOADs DI board and the new DI6 daughter board — a plug-and-play sound card interface that connects your radio to your computer over USB-C.

With just one board, you can run:
• Winlink 📡
• APRS 🚗
• FT8 🌐
• ANY digital mode you want

No more struggling with cables, custom wiring, or expensive interfaces — the TOADs DI6 makes it simple. (Of course if you like that kinda thing, the TOADs DI is for you!)

📌 In this video, I’ll show you:
• What the DI6 is and how it works
• How to connect it to your radio & PC
• Live demo of digital modes in action
• Why it might be the easiest way to bring your rig into the modern digital world

The Only Thing Worse Than The Price Is The Tuner Itself

The Only Thing Worse Than The Price Is The Tuner Itself

Am I being too critical? Maybe my expectations are too high? For a tuner that costs almost as much as a G90, you would think it could perform a simple task like tuning a 9:1 random wire antenna though, right? I second guessed my test. I performed another one. I checked continuity of the antenna wire. I changed the coax. I changed the location. Yet I got the same disappointing results. Do any of you have this tuner? If so, what has your experience with it been? Do I have a bad one, or is this just the way it is?
